The Wind Among the Reeds (1899). Cover design by Althea Gyles.<\/em><\/p>\n

1: The Song of Wandering Aengus<\/em> by WB Yeats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I went out to the hazel wood,
\nBecause a fire was in my head,
\nAnd cut and peeled a hazel wand,
\nAnd hooked a berry to a thread;
\nAnd when white moths were on the wing,
\nAnd moth-like stars were flickering out,
\nI dropped the berry in a stream
\nAnd caught a little silver trout.<\/p>\n

When I had laid it on the floor
\nI went to blow the fire a-flame,
\nBut something rustled on the floor,
\nAnd someone called me by my name:
\nIt had become a glimmering girl
\nWith apple blossom in her hair
\nWho called me by my name and ran
\nAnd faded through the brightening air.<\/p>\n

Though I am old with wandering
\nThrough hollow lands and hilly lands,
\nI will find out where she has gone,
\nAnd kiss her lips and take her hands;
\nAnd walk among long dappled grass,
\nAnd pluck till time and times are done,
\nThe silver apples of the moon,
\nThe golden apples of the sun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
